  • Patent number: 11411256
    Abstract: A battery pack includes: a battery cell including an electrode assembly connected to an electrode tab, and first and second casings facing each other and coupled to each other to form an accommodation portion accommodating the electrode assembly and to form a terrace portion extending across the electrode tab to seal the accommodation portion, the terrace portion including a first surface on the first casing and a second surface on the second casing; a protective circuit module electrically connected to the battery cell and on the first surface of the terrace portion; and a current breaking device electrically connected to the protective circuit module to form a charge-discharge path of the battery cell and on the second surface of the terrace portion. The current breaking device limits charge-discharge current in response to the battery cell's abnormal state such as overheating, and does not spatially interfere with the protective circuit module.

  • Patent number: 11233279
    Abstract: A battery pack includes a battery cell and a protection circuit module. The battery cell includes i) an electrode assembly to which an electrode tab is connected and ii) first and second cases coupled to face each other to form an accommodating portion accommodating the electrode assembly and a sealing portion sealing the accommodating portion. The sealing portion includes i) a terrace portion extending across the electrode tab and comprising a first surface on a first case side and a second surface on a second case side and ii) a side sealing portion including an end contacting the terrace portion and an extension extending from the end. The protection circuit module is arranged on the first or second surface of the terrace portion. The end of the side sealing portion is folded in such a way not to spatially interfere with the protection circuit module.

  • Patent number: 8765283
    Abstract: A conductive tab includes a battery connecting part contacting a plurality of secondary batteries, a wire connecting part extended from the battery connecting part and connected to a wire, and at least one bending part formed in the battery connecting part. The bending part is coupled to the secondary battery to guide the positions of the secondary batteries. The conductive tab can be exactly welded at a predetermined position of the secondary battery, and prevents conductive tabs from closely adhering to each other during a welding process.
